About

Plays offense in clear, calm uptrends with 3x tech/semis funds; flips fast to T‑bills/short bonds or brief hedges (UVXY/SOXS/SQQQ) when trends weaken, get overheated, or volatility spikes. Uses simple trend, RSI, drawdown, and bond‑vs‑stock checks.
NutHow it works
It splits money across a few rule sets. Each one: 1) Checks trend and “heat” (price vs 50/200‑day averages; RSI=0–100 heat gauge; big recent drops; volatility). 2) If trends are healthy and calm, it buys 3x tech/semis funds (TQQQ, SOXL, TECL; sometimes UPRO/SPXL, plus SVXY). 3) If things look shaky or overheated, it parks in T‑bills/short bonds (BIL/BSV) or briefly hedges with UVXY/SOXS/SQQQ. 4) Bond‑vs‑stock strength helps decide risk‑on vs cash.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~32% annualized return vs ~19% for the S&P, powered by 3x tech/semis bets with smart hedging. Higher upside in uptrends, tempered by disciplined risk controls and opportunistic cash hedges—larger swings, bigger potential rewards.

FAQ

A Composer symphony is an automated trading strategy that executes trades based on parameters of your choice. Some symphonies are similar to holding one ETF in normal conditions and rotating to a different ETF when market conditions shift, for example a 5% drop in the S&P 500, while others use complex rules with dozens of triggers. However, complex doesn’t always mean better. A simple, well-structured symphony can be just as effective as an intricate one. Learn more about how symphonies work here.
